    HO CHECK

    Okay, this fad was started...christ, I don't know, must have been over a year ago on these forums, but if my memory serves correctly, whenever someone asked the question "what?" they get ho checked. My question is, is that correct? For people who remember it? I started doing it to all my friends and they're like "wtf ho check i don't get it," I want to make sure I'm not doing it incorrectly; ho checking is serious business.

    I remember us doing it a lot in BG WoW... I don't exactly remember how it went down, but someone would call someone gay or something, the gayee would reply, and then the gayer would say "nothing, just ho checking".

    Please correct me, though.

    I remember a HUGE debate (atleast a half year ago) in a thread about the proper hoe check, anyone wanna dig it up?

    But I think it's just..

    If you say to a person, 'Hey?', 'Hey you there?' or some sort of asking phrase, and if they replied, it would be a hoe check.

    Like..

    1) 'Hey, you there buddy?'
    2) 'Yeah, whats up?'
    1) 'Nuttin, just hoe checkin'

    If you don't already know how to hoe check, you shouldn't be attempting to hoe check.

    I remember the trend when it first started. People in my old dynamis LS always tried to catch me with it but I always one step ahead.

    they'd be like "hey daahan"

    and i'd be like "NO HO CHECK 4 U"

    It was over a year ago, then it disappeared forever. Can't expect me to remember the details. ;_; So can we say the consensus is whenever someone responds to another person's inquisition, the inquisitor can then proceed to ho check?

    Well, looks like Kuai is pretty into PSU now, and tib has replied here a couple times recently, but that's only speculation. >_>

    I'd hope BG WoW didn't break, that would be a shame especially considering their progress in Naxx up to 4H, and the expansion coming out. They could be just chilling until BC comes out, but as close as they are to KT that would seem silly, no? Unless they don't feel like blowing the gold for consumables and crafting all the FrR gear.

    Well, it's either craft all the FrR gear, or just stockpile the mats for stuff that's never going to require it.

    Also Lawls, good point with the FrR gear, been a while since I've quit WoW so my memory is slightly rusty in regards to content.

    I hoe checked Judah. Good stuff. I remember trying to get Xavier once, too, in Crawler's Nest, but he never replied to my shout.... I don't think.

    Looks like Ecurb's LS > BG for coining the term!

    The term most certainly came from FriendlyFire. It was popularized on these forums by Judah and someone else I can't recall.

    Was Judah the leader of FF at the time, or just heard the term and brought it to BG forums?
